If the impact of Helene has any upside to it, it's that in the face of the threat from Milton, people are not inclined to hang around and "ride it out". The pictures of the last week's devastation are way too fresh.

This repeats exactly the rhetoric just before Rita.
That was a different kind of disaster and people died on the highways in stop and go traffic.
@Xponent_Rob They didn't get out and off the road in time?
rob is right, they waited until it was too late. And because they were in an area they were unfamiliar with they didnt know where the shelters were located.
